Call of Duty Black Ops: Loadout of the Pros

The Top 5 Black Ops players bare all.

By Brian Miggels

We all might have a special combination of weapons, equipment, and perks for Call of Duty: Black Ops that works for us. But, there's definitely a learning curve when it comes to online multiplayer. That's where the pros come in. These guys are arguably the Top 5 players in the world and they use a very specific loadout to win matches on a global scale. So put your AK74u down for a moment and learn about the Black Ops loadout that could potentially propel you to stardom.

This is probably the most standard loadout in the MLG scene. It's very versatile and powerful for just about any type of player. It allows players to have strong slaying abilities and good close-range battle capabilities with the high-speed fire rate of the Famas.

At the start of Black Ops, the competitive scene was ruled by AK74u's. Treyarch noticed this and began to patch and nerf the AK74u multiple times. This led to the Famas being the overall best choice for competitive players. The Famas, when held by someone with a solid shot, is deadly at long range, medium range, and even close range.

With the Famas being fully automatic this allows you to control the speed and recoil of the gun. You can burst fire for improved accuracy across maps like Array. For close range maps such as Summit and Firing Range, you can use the full potential of the weapon and abuse the weapons incredible hip-fire. You might get trolled for "Spray and Pray", but at least you will be winning.

The Famas is the go-to gun and seems to be the most reliable for the majority of the game types we compete in. This isn't to say that the other guns cannot be effective, but I've found my play to be more consistent when using the Famas combined with the other perk and customization selections you see here.

This is the loadout you will see me and the majority of pro players using in MLG matches. The FAMAS is the best assault rifle; it shoots 937.5 rounds per minute, making it a very lethal weapon at close to medium range. It's unlocked at level 14, so for those of you who absolutely hate ranking up, then this is the gun for you.
